About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 4 437 · spoilt 50 · special votes 422 · All 3 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)

PR ballot figures for this ward are the sum of the IEC's results for its 3 voting districts; the IEC publishes the ward ballot per ward and the PR ballot per voting district.

Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 3 voting districts here (4 434 of 9 336). The IEC publishes 47.6%.

The winner's share of registered voters is calculated: the winner's votes on the IEC's ward ballot ÷ the registered voters of the ward's voting districts.

The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2021 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.

Note: The IEC's total across ballots differs from the party's ward + PR + DC 40% votes for 32 parties (the IEC's total vs the ballots' sum): ANC 2 449 vs 4 580; DA 521 vs 1 138; EFF 373 vs 799; ActionSA 207 vs 450; UDM 198 vs 429; MAYIBUYE 116 vs 218; SACP 110 vs 214; ATM 103 vs 210; MKP 98 vs 179; Mayibuye Civic Movement 54 vs 145; VF PLUS 43 vs 106; AIC 26 vs 62; ACDP 17 vs 47; AZAPO 15 vs 28; AIM 13 vs 24; PAC 10 vs 17; P.P 8 vs 11; APC 7 vs 13; COPE 4 vs 11; GOOD 4 vs 7; PA 4 vs 8; DM 3 vs 6; DOP 1 vs 5; E.T.M 1 vs 4; ACT 0 vs 6; APPEIR 0 vs 7; ECOFORUM 0 vs 2; FISA 0 vs 1; LABOUR 0 vs 2; NA 0 vs 1; SDP 0 vs 1; UPPA 0 vs 2. We show each ballot's own votes.

Note: A party's total across ballots doesn't match its ballots: 67 times in 3 voting districts. In local elections the IEC also publishes each party's total across the ward, PR and DC 40% ballots. For these parties (by IEC party number) that total differs from the party's votes on the ballots themselves. We show each ballot's own votes. Each voting district's own page lists the IEC's figures.

Percentages are calculated from the IEC's vote counts. Official results: results.elections.org.za.
